The Holidays.

Today, J. and I did our first official full day of holiday shopping. We started at 10:00 am and finally settled in at 7:00 pm (sigh). It was exhausting, fun, crazy and festive. Here are some of my observations about the general public from today....

I enjoy:

Friendly people who say "Merry Christmas".

People who hold the door open for you.

Fun and laughter while doing x-mas shopping.

Seasonal salespeople who are so nervous, they are overly nice to you.

I don't enjoy:

Crabby drivers who won't slow down for people walking across the parking lot.

Shopping carts left in the middle of aisles by inconsiderate shoppers lingering around.

People who cut in line at Starbucks.

I crossed many names off my list today, and besides the anxiety attack in Target at 11:00 am, and then again at 1:00 pm in Michaels...sweating to death in Old Navy....and going to 4 different stores for J's clients x-mas cards....it was a good day.
